RISHI Sunak has a winter economy plan. He also seems to have a 30-day free trial to Adobe photoshop.
Taking to Twitter earlier, the UK Chancellor announced he would be announcing the details of the expected extension (or replacement) of the furlough scheme in the House of Commons tomorrow.

However, the way in which he did it left many asking if he wasn't preparing to announce something else altogether, perhaps a new album or a fashion range.

Sunak became Chancellor after his predecessor, Sajid Javid, refused to fire every single one of his political advisers to keep the job.
At the time, Javid said: “I was unable to accept those conditions and I do not believe any self-respecting minister would accept those conditions.”
Javid seems to have been very wrong. If there's one thing Sunak seems to respect it is himself, and his own signature.
Others asked if the style-conscious Chancellor was launching a movie or a TV show.
Others thought the graphic looked more like the cover of a new album, perhaps one to give Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion a run for their money.
While others thought it was his daring new perfume.
Whatever inspired the Chancellor, as The Guardian's Heather Stewart added: "Hope they've spent as long thinking about the policy as the branding..."
We'll find out tomorrow.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
